The romance here confuses me because it seems so.. unnecessary and weirdly written?
First, the whole thing about multiple people being head of heels for her is just.. eh. But that aside - I don't like how either Doha or Biseol are written as "love interests". When I started reading this, I figured that Doha is our primary love interest, but then as the story went on she just seemed to grow closer and closer to Biseol. I didn't mind it because I was team Biseol all the way, but then why isn't he the primary love interest? What's the point of Doha being there?
Not to mention that Biseol spent hundreds of years with her, and Doha and her spent barely any time together and somehow he's completely bewitched? Huh?
Both Doha and Biseol have good and bad qualities, I just so happened to like Biseol more, but I genuinely don't like how the whole thing was laid out. Aside from the whole romance aspect, I liked the story.
not only that, but MC seemed to have more genuine feelings for the head priestess than Doha??? at least that's the way it was presented/written.
literally... at first i thought that Yeon enjoyed her company because Yeon was a woman herself and found it enjoyable to be around another woman, but later on it dead seemed like caught feelings for her. overall i didn't like how romance was written here at all. i wasn't satisfied with her and Doha's "romance" in the end at all. not because i was team Biseol, but because it dead made no sense. she didn't gaf about that guy for like 95% of the story and all of a sudden they're kissing? man wtf.
I think if her waiting for him was better written, it would've made more sense but it wasn't so it feels so half assed at least the concept of it all felt fresh
I completely agree with you. The cover chosen for this manhwa here in magago also feels a bit biased. Doing some research I found out that there are other official covers. I published my favorite in one of my albums.
Apart from that for me it feels like the author have been playing with us, their readers until the very end. I lost count of how many times I thought that Biseol an Jeok-Yeon were going to kiss,... Throughout the entire manhwa, Jeok-Yeon seems to be seducing him while he struggles to resist. Personaly I can't believe that Jeok-Yeon, despite how she's written, is so oblivious to Biseol's feelings for her throughout the entire story, and yet she seems to enjoy so much teasing him that if she feels nothing more than friendship or sisterly love for him, I find her behavior quite cruel!.
Then there was the massage scene, the "antidote kissing", the suggestive scenes of him sucking her blood while both half naked... But then... nothing beyond that between them was drawn! But there are the lines from Biseol to Doha : "Don't flatter yourself into thinking you're the only man for her just because she calls on you often and treats you like you're special..." "Her Majesty can embrace any man she pleases..." "Her majesty likely prefers hands she knows well..."... etc.... (chapter 115) And the scene of her and Biseol scaping at night over the palace walls... They always alone. At least is what they planned. Then Doha and Baek-Rang pursue them and catch up with them. That desperate and obsessive behavior bothers me.
And the books about who will be the next consort. I think that these "people" are for the author us, the readers xD.
I find Biseol more mature, his love more selfless, and his personality and attitude more elegant. Besides, I love the character because I find him much more interesting than Doha, and his appearance is...just gorgeos from my point of view.
I like to think that she keeps both as lovers, but real love is with Biseol (although maybe she haven't realize yet. ^_^; )
This is my favorite official cover:

I wish I could like replies. 10/10 and thanks for the cover!!!
Thanks to you! I feel relieved knowing there are more people who gets my point! <3

I think that if the priestess would have survived she would have kept her as a lover too (lol, but not completely joking xD )

Taeui better kill Ilay before I get my hands on a weapon omfg
This is easily one of the best things I've read in a while, and so I'm planning on reading the novel; so I was curious whether to read it from where the manhwa is so far, or to start from the beginning?
samee i wanna know too!
OKAAAYY so uhh I just binge-read the novel (I couldn't handle the suspense anymore) and I assure you that it's alright to start with where the manhwa leaves us! Don't bother with starting from the start- the adaption is really consistent with the novel!
Novel is pretty much 1:1 to the manhwa, this is chapter 16 currently
i cant believe u found me in two different comments omg also ty haha
Wait really i didn't event notice
OH OH OH WAIT YOURE THE PERSON WITH THE SITE REC RIGHTTT ♀
hahahha yeah
lwk lwk rec the novel site pls T-T
you can find and even download many novels on zlib! keep that site a secret though because it was already banned once and we can't afford to lose it again </3
I READ THIS IN ONE NIGHT GIVE ME MOOOOOREEE
You have to read the novel, it's so good
omg is it under the same name?
Yes it is. It's done too with side stories
i need Ilay slimed im so serious like yea they have feelings for each other good for them but i can bet on my baptized name that he's gonna rape Taeui again because Ilay is impulsive and Taeui is dumb as hell because he knows how Ilay is and he keeps on forgiving his shitty ass behavior and im so sick of rape being dismissed in yaois i need that white haired babadook slimed rn
Yes agreed. Like, we’re at ch 140. How much longer of this before he finally gets what he deserves
i genuinely, GENUINELY, hoped that he'll get some development. yeah, sure - he's "nice" to Taeui, visibly has feelings for him, etc. but holy shit why is it that Taeui just "got over" the fact that he raped him??? the fact that he has feelings doesnt dismiss his shitty and toxic behavior. im so sick of this kinda trope being so common in yaois, i want him dead.
Agreed. A nice, tortuous death would be such a happy ending lol
Taeui is the definition of survival instincts of a fart good God...
i dropped this like a year back bc i just forgot to keep reading it, can somebody tell me whether its nearing it's end so i can know whether to start re-reading it or not yet
Certainly nearing Its end you should definitely pick it up again, ALSO IS THAT DAENERYS STORMBORN OF THE HOUSE TARGARYEN, THE FIRST OF HER NAME, QUEEN OF THE ANDALS, THE RHOYNAR, AND THE FIRST MEN??? PROTECTOR OF THE SEVEN REALMS, KHAL3ESI OF THE GREAT GRASS SEA, THE UNBURNT, THE BREAKER OF CHAINS, AND THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS??????
Wait some more weeks. Like 1 month to 2. Amd you wont hmget cliffhangers
it's almost the end. the novel only has less than 250 chapters on the main story, and we're already at 220-230s.
DAENERYS THE PRINCE WHO WAS PROMISEEEEEEED
My queen until the day I die, I can't fathom what went through anyone's head deciding Bran the fucking broken should be king instead.
It makes me mad even years after I've watched it.
DON'T EVEN START
Girl, and the way they killed Missandei? And Dany and expected me to believe that Grey Worm would just up and leave afterwards because they told him too??? Why strip him of his loyalty like that, the whole point wad that the ppl who followed her wanted to, they loved her, don't fucking tell me they would just leave without giving a fuck.
ts is a scam men irl aint like this they cant even turn u on, let alone whimper for u
unfortunately men are appealing only in theory not practice
Sadge
Taeui's stupid ass needs to get beat and Ilay needs to get slimed I can't do this anymore omfg
